I hear you. I have a couple of pieces in the works on rare earths and Scandinavia and it feels gross just trying to keep the intros updated. Less than zero desire to spin off something public

It’s time to apply for fellowships at @scihistoryorg.bsky.social!

(No rec letters for curatorial fellowships)

Imagine if you were a sports fan but every year your team won the championship and you knew exactly when it would happen. #9LC

We always include a Christmas Day rebroadcast also!

Thank you for this btw!! Was not familiar but I’m definitely teaching JP and I love this for context

By a fluke of funding, I’ll be attending my first AHA in a few weeks. Event specific advice welcome!

Friends, let me know if you’ll be there! And if you’d like to perhaps get a coffee and learn more about SHI fellowships, collections, scholarly programs, and academic partnerships :)

Let me know if you’d like me to email the syllabus from my scientific instruments seminar you zoomed into in spring 22!

If I could ask, did you read Everland? And if so, do you think it would be good for discussing in an undergrad STS seminar looking at portrayals of science in fiction?

We have a wider variety of backgrounds in the room than most (www.sciencehistory.org/research/fel...) and it’s hugely generative! Something people really value, that in one meeting you’ll get comments from an art historian, an environmental historian, a rare books curator, a journalism professor…

We have fellows’ talks (20 min intro to your work, feel free to recycle a conf talk) and 90 min WIP workshops (articles, chapters, public writing, talks, outlines all welcome). Both are fantastic, presenter gets lots of great help and everyone brings their own thoughts on research to the table

So cool! Hearing him read The Lanyard on NPR back when he was poet laureate really changed how I thought about poetry
